Heavy Grav-Support Vehicle for Sci-Fi Machine Cult Forces

The Hovercraft Tank Solpuga D-10 is a brutally efficient grav-armoured transport and gun platform designed for the relentless war engines of any Sci-Fi Machine Cult collection. Built with sweeping industrial lines, reinforced hover-pods, and a compact but imposing hull, this vehicle brings both presence and battlefield utility to your tabletop.

Featuring 19 finely detailed parts, the Solpuga D-10 offers flexible turret builds, interchangeable weapon modules, and two cyber-augmented crew that slot perfectly into their hatches. Every surface, from the heat-sink arrays to the layered armour plating, is sculpted for painters who enjoy adding weathering, OSL glows, and intricate metallic tones. Whether used as a troop carrier or a battlefield gunship, it embodies the cold, ritualistic precision of a true Sci-Fi Machine Cult war engine.

Measuring 144.8mm long, 85.5mm wide, and 83.5mm tall, this grav-tank has the bulk and silhouette of a heavy battlefield support craft. The multi-pod repulsor system gives it the visual character of a hovering behemoth skimming over dunes, blasted wastelands, or industrial ruins. The interchangeable weapon suite allows you to customise the role of your vehicle — from anti-infantry saturation fire to heavier anti-armour energy cannons.


Painting Guide (Airbrush or Traditional Brush)

Here’s a step-by-step process that works brilliantly on grav-tanks with industrial-tech aesthetics:

1. Prime

  • Black primer for maximum depth
  • Optional: spritz grey from above for a zenithal pre-shade

2. Basecoats

For a machine-cult aesthetic:

  • Hull: Dark metal (Gunmetal Grey, Black Metal, or a mix of both)
  • Hover pods / repulsors: Cold grey or desaturated blue-grey
  • Armour plates: Deep crimson, industrial yellow, or hazard-stripe pattern

3. Shading

  • Apply a thin coat of black wash into the recesses
  • Add a touch of brown wash around vents and heat sinks for oil/soot build-up

4. Highlights

  • Edge highlight the armour with bright silver
  • For coloured panels, use lighter versions of your basecoat (e.g., crimson → red-orange)

5. Weathering

Works especially well on vehicles associated with ritual-mechanical armies:

  • Sponge chips: Use dark brown followed by silver
  • Heat staining: Apply blue → purple → brown rings on exhaust tubes
  • Dusting: Light drybrush of tan or bone on the lower hull

6. Glow Effects (OSL)

Use turquoise, green, or orange for:

  • Sensors
  • Lenses
  • Turret energy coils
  • Hover-pod rings

Blend outward for subtle glow, perfect for a Sci-Fi Machine Cult colour scheme.
